  • a reference to an October post of his promising to send knee pads to all CEOs, universities and GOP officials bending the knee to Trump.

    Uh-huh…sure. THATS what it’s a reference to…

  • Removed

    The madman did it.

  • I’m SHOCKED he would do this on Epstein Files day…/s

  • Most of the podcasts I listen to are this format. I think their enjoyment might come down to knowing (or being interested in getting to know) the speakers’ personalities.

    Omnibus — Ken Jennings (of Jeopardy fame) and Jonn Roderick (of The Long Winters (or bean dad) fame) take turns on doing a deep dive on some weird but true topic.

    Filmcast — Film nerds (David Chen, Devindra Hardawar, and Jeff Cannata) talk about new movies they’ve watched and TV Shows they’re watching

    The Incomparable — Geeks talking about various pop culture topics. This is a whole network with various podcasts focusing on different aspects of pop culture. I linked to the “main” feed which is where you’ll usually find new movie releases, but they also go back and discuss movies they’ve watched missed and classic too. Or if you’d rather browse by topic

    The Accidental Tech Podcast — Three friends from childhood and professional geeks discuss current technology topics with a heavy focus on Apple from a developer and consumer perspective.

    The Rest is History — Two English historians discuss various history topics from around the world at length. They just wrapped up a four part series on Jack the Ripper.

    …that should be a reasonable start I hope.

  • Were you on some sort of deadline? That’s the only reason I can think of that you would allow AI to steal this opportunity for you to grow and improve your skills.

  • “VR - now with real sunburn!”

  • It’s been a year or two since I was looking into it and I didn’t have a NAS at the time, but another one of the issues I had was the tiny selection of cameras available. I tested some Aqara G2H Pros and the Logitech Circle View. The Aqaras I added local storage to and at least could get continuous recording, but event seeking is pretty terrible. The circle view was, despite very well built hardware, essentially useless. Keeping it connected to the network was basically impossible

    I’m curious how writing to the NAS works. Is it just a bunch of files dumped to a network share or is there some sort of timeline viewing software available? Are they giant continuous files? Individual files for events? Without knowing the details it seems like it would be a nightmare to navigate and actually find useful information.

  • which at least has caffeine

    …and is native to the U.S…

  • There’s been a surge in popularity on TikTok of Gen Z users who share their tricks for emulating the coffee shop experience on a budget, from making cold brew in their refrigerators to bulk-buying plastic cups for iced lattes.

    wut? Why?

  • I see waaaay too many doomer/surrender-in-advance type comments around here at the top.

  • I vote for visibility.

  • Is what you’re describing CBT or…? There are so many kinds of therapy, every time I get to the “which one do I need” stage my anxiety takes over and I just have to shut the whole project down and it sits on the back burner for another set of months.

  • I last took classes at 36. Never got a degree though. I’d feel silly with where I am career-wise taking classes now, 11 years later.

  • So the U.S. military will start killing Americans opposed to fascism (aka anti-fascists; aka the designated terrorist organization Antifa).

    Like we didn’t all see this coming…And yet I’m still surprised it’s arrived.

  • How was support experience wrt replacing the bad cloudkeys?

  • "The star of The Apprentice couldn’t believe he was talking to the daughter of the great Pat Summerall. 'He’s said it a million times,' Wiles said. 'I judge people by their genes.’

    There it is…

  • I will admit I gave Protect an unfair advantage as it’s the only fully first party solution I tried (unless you count Apple HomeKit Secure Video?)

    Protect with 3rd party cameras is indeed lacking. But it works like magic with first party cameras.

    The only other solution I’ve tried was QNAP QVR Pro with third party cameras and it was awful

    Sounds like you’re having better luck with HKSV than I did. For me that is where I started and quickly bailed on it despite the unlimited cloud storage. It just did a terrible job at recording video. It would always end the recording with the detected subject still in the frame. It was incredibly frustrating.

  • Is this a common issue folks have with Protect? I haven’t seen it talked about so far.

    TBH, for me, Protect has been so much better than the other NVR solutions I’ve tried it has been a big driving force behind the appeal for me.

  • I don’t think they were calling the meme template misogynistic
